Is the travel sector ripe for disruption with blockchain technology? With a trillion dollar industry that estimates over a billion tourists per annum having suffered a lack of innovation for many years, startup TamTam Travels is now looking to “leverage the power of blockchain” technology and combine it with member benefits and discounts across a broad range of travel and related services.

Stepping into the breach is UK-based TamTam Travels with a business model of based on a membership portal, which offers discounts on benefits and services. This is not just while travelling abroad, but also locally whilst at home. And, potentially savings could run to hundreds – if not several thousand – of dollars.

Touting savings of up to 50% savings on groceries to fashion, and much more, from leading brands, it is also offering veteran travellers “exclusive access” to a personal assistant concierge service as well as airline lounges globally.

Through TamTam Travel’s search engine, for example, members can search for daily, local and global discounts featuring over 300,000 of the world’s best merchants – including cruise packages at up to 40% discount. Membership also provides airport lounge access with complimentary pre-flight snacks and drinks, plus complimentary flight insurance up to $200,000 amongst a range of other discounts.
